Free Woven Corners Potholder Pattern

Inside: Free pattern for the loom woven Corners Potholder including written instructions, link to weaving chart and fully-captioned tutorial videos.

I love mitered squares!

They are a unique design with rows that seem to bend before your eyes. I’ve worked them up on both the knitting loom and needles. Imagine my excitement when I found weaving pattern that creates this classic look.

You know I had to share it with you, right?

The Corners Potholder pattern creates a striped mitered square look with each row converging on one corner. You could have so much fun with colors on this one!

This pattern is also a great one for seaming into a large trivet. You can position the individual squares in many different ways depending on the look you want.

This easy loom weaving pattern is fully reversible and works up quickly. This pattern contains written instructions and links to a weaving chart and fully-captioned tutorial videos showing the entire project for both right and left handed weavers.

NOTES 

The corners design uses two colors that alternate on both the warp (vertical) and the weave (horizontal).

You place all the warp loops on the potholder loom first.  Then you weave the horizontal loops according to the row instructions.

In the row instructions below, directions written in parentheses ( ) are repeated.  The number of times to work the repeat are listed after the parentheses.
